Purchase options and add-ons
"I felt hot tears streaming down my cheeks at his words. Spoken so carelessly, but with such shameless intent. He knew how I felt. How I had been feeling. How lost and alone and full of grief my days had been. Avery was not a friend. Not even a trusted acquaintance. But he understood what I was going through. Even if he didn't have a compassionate bone in his entire buffed body, he knew what I had suffered. I didn't have to justify my behaviour to him."
Walking out on her life and hiding in the only place she can think of that the Iunctio - the vampire governing body - and in particular, the Champion, can not find her, Lucinda faces eternity alone and on the run. Heartbroken, bereft and quite desolate she hides in amongst the lowest forms of vampire society.
Doing what she can to keep the innocents safe, while denying herself the support she desperately needs to recover from such personal losses.
A saviour of sorts arrives, but can he be trusted? Avery Rousseau has only ever been interested in himself. But the handsome, arrogant and always so well-put-together vampire does seem to care. At least he offers a distraction from the heartache and loss. Lucinda battles with her inherent mistrust of the one vampire who understands what she is going through.
But should she allow him inside her crumbling walls?
More than just vampires stalk Lucinda though. There is a fairy who claims she is his one true love. Lucinda is called to his Light, she can't help reaching for it, but to do so could have everlasting consequences she may not be prepared to face.
As time runs out - first with the Iunctio, then the Ljósálfar - Lucinda must do what she has to do, to survive, before her heartache breaks her in two.
But memories plague her, her mind starts to play cruel tricks and slowly reality begins to crumble, taking a once strong and confident Nosferatin down as quickly as a predator catches its prey.
And now, there are just so many predators, Lucinda may not stand a chance at all at avoiding being their prey.

About the author

A bit of a romance junkie, Nicola can be known to devour as many as half a dozen books a week if she drinks too much coffee. But her real passion is writing thrilling romantic suspense stories with strong female leads and alpha male protagonists who know how to love them.
So far, she’s written well over 70 books. She might have caught the writing bug; here’s hoping there’s no cure!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the series!
Verified PurchaseI got the first book of this series because it was free. I have purchased the rest as they are all wonderful and carry on immediately from the previous book. Yes, there is some repetition summarising what has happened so far but only in the 2nd book is it truly obvious and annoying. Either the author puts less and less in as the books go on or she got better and spreading it out so it doesn't feel so in your face.
The story is not only about vampires (nosferatu), vampire hunters (nosferatin) and their intricate relationship but a book about self-discovery, love, conflict and more.
The books are beautifully written (even though there are some minor spelling errors and misuse of they're, there, their type words), easy to read and difficult to put down.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER FABULOUS BOOK FROM NICOLA CLAIRE!
Verified PurchaseThis great book is another "don't miss" progression of the story of Lucinda and Michel. This portion follows Michel's death and Lucinda's adventure with the Fey Prince.The series is fabulous. If you love paranormal romance, the series is for you. I am now on my third read and I never read books more than once. Nicola Claire is an incredible author. I've also read her Sweet Seduction series and am eagerly awaiting her new H.E.A.T series. I am sure she will not disappoint!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant
Verified PurchaseAnother well written book in the series. I honestly can't put these books down. I'm on 1 a day. I'm going to be so lost when I'm finished. If you like true blood, supernatural vampires and a bit of girl power Buffy saves the day then you have got to read this kindred series

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining as always
Verified PurchaseNicola easily captured my attention in this book. Even though I accidentally read some spoilers I was still able to get lost in the story. The challenges Lucinda has to face increase to an unbearable level in this book. That seems almost impossible since she already has a ton of crap on her plate from the previous 5 books. I'm sure I had my lip poked out on several occasions while reading.
My only complaint is the detailed surveillance of what each vampire is wearing. I skip those parts because they are too long and unnecessary. The descriptions are usually right before the plot thickens, so it does provide some foreshadowing. Or a waste of valuable reading time. This depends on the reader and how much time they have.
Go ahead and buy all 8. I wish I did that since I obviously must finish the whole series then search for all Nicola books and start on those as well. Happy Reading:)
